Surely that’s just the same as saying ‘a penalty wasn’t given so it’s irrelevant ‘ ?

The argument was that we were lucky the ref got a decision ‘wrong’, but in fact he and his linesman actually got 2 wrong in the same move.

As for shots etc.. there really wasn’t much in it.

2 saves from either keeper and 13-11 overall

Leicester were the better side, aided by some friendly officials, but not by a lot.

A lot of over reacting going on here and elsewhere again.

I'm not overreacting. I wasn't expecting us to win and we didn't. You can look at the stats all you want (even though they're all in Leicester's favour) the most important one is "Cardiff City nil". If you can't score at home or stop the other team from scoring you don't "deserve" anything. So not a thrashing, we were in it for the first 45 minutes, but ultimately we lost to a better team. I expect more of the same against teams like Palace, Southampton, Brighton, Wolves and West Ham.

No because one event directly followed the other. If the offside was given, then the handball would have been irrelevant.

Yes this is true. Ultimately the discussion always comes back to the fact (and I do believe it’s a fact) that sides like Leicester are just better than us. Not a million miles out of this world better like Man City are- but better definitely.

Therefore a 1-0 fairly comfortable away win is simply exactly what should happen given those circumstances.

And if the goal had been given then the offside would have been relevent 👍

Either way it was correct the goal didn’t stand
